I am starting a new Kickstarter fund to record an album. Need input for ideas on where to perform.

The idea is predicated on the title "Intensity in Tent Cities in Ten Cities". Basically, I will go on a bicycle tour of homeless encampments in the nation, ten different shanty towns, and use the best ten tracks from each performance of my old time banjo music to make up a CD. I need ideas on different shanty towns to perform in. Does your city/metro area have a tent city? Let me know. Will be old school analog blogging (aka writing shit down in a comp pad) for liner notes/possible further exposure for the project (book deals, etc.. not to get my hopes up or anything..)

The tent city in Olympia/Lacey WA is called Camp Quixote and this is their website, if you want more information.posted by periscope at 4:16 PM on October 14, 2010

Any information is greatly appreciated. If this project has any chance of succeeding I need as much possible input. It's something I have always wanted to do but never thought possible till I first heard about Kickstarter..posted by mediocre at 4:27 PM on October 14, 2010

Yeah, Seattle has at least two that I know of -- one called Nickelsville after our previous mayor, and one called Tent City 3, obviously implying at least 2 others. I'm on TC3's mailing list and can get you details about their contact person if you like; just memail me.

Post to Projects when you've got it sorted out!posted by librarina at 9:04 PM on October 14, 2010
